More information on Stonehenge

Probably the most famous ancient stone monument of the western world, it is hardly the largest or the most magnificent, yet it has occupied the thoughts and dreams of millions and filled bookshelves with theories of what it was meant for and why it was built. Usually crowded during the day, in the early morning or the evening as the rooks come back to roost Stonehenge recaptures its ancient magic. Begun around 5000 years ago, Stonehenge has been altered and revised several times over the millennia. The 80 stones that made up the two internal circles were transported from Wales, and later on great blocks of sarsen stone were brought from Wiltshire, dressed and fitted together on site. One thing we know for certain is that it was not built by Druids, as it pre-dates them by nearly 2000 years.
